Housed in what was the original Quartermasters Building and now the Putnam Library on the grounds of the historic Dayton VA Medical Center in Dayton, Ohio is a hidden gem -- the Miami Valley Military History Museum.

If you are interested in military history, this is a "must see" museum. Visit the museum's web site at:
